But his parents and sister are not convinced and say the paranoia-suffering 31-year-old, who at times gets scared of people, could easily have gone into hiding on the ferry and then disembarked in Majorca.
There have been several possible sightings of Kingston over the past month.
His anguished sister Megan Kingston said: “We have a strong hope and belief that he is still out there waiting to be found.
"He had everything to live for. He had a beautiful girlfriend and they had plans for the future and to work together."
In a heartfelt message to her older brother she pleads: “Rem, just let us know you’re safe and OK and we can get you some help.
"We all love you and miss you so much. You are my amazing brother."
Megan last saw her only sibling during a family party in March to celebrate her 29th birthday at a restaurant in their home town of Billericay, Essex.
She recalled: “I said to my partner ‘I’m not too sure how Rem’s going to be' but he was really happy and on good form."
HOLDING OUT HOPE
As her mum Melanie Kingston and step dad Jamie Ward are out in Majorca co-ordinating £500-per-hour helicopter searches for Rem, Megan has instructed Clarence Mitchell, the well known spokesperson for missing Maddie’s family, to help them.
The former BBC journalist turned PR supremo has told the family that publicity is paramount and is now organising a press conference for Rem’s loved ones to make an appeal.
Megan said: “We never thought we’d be in this situation but having this focus and daily determination for Rem’s safety keeps me going. It only needs one person to recognise my brother’s face.
"We need to get my fun loving, beloved brother back home."
Clarence, who has been helping Maddie’s parents Kate and Gerry keep their daughter’s disappearance in the global spotlight as they face the 12th anniversary without her next week.
He told The Sun Online “This is another desperate family who approached me for help. Rem’s family are absolutely convinced he is still alive and they want to make sure people are still aware of him and they are doing their utmost to find him.”
He added: “They will not give up searching and they want to bring him home.”
The family has also been seeking guidance from charity Missing People, for which Kate is a high profile ambassador.
Rem, described by his sister as “a people’s person, very much loved and with friends globally”, is believed to be on holiday isles Majorca or Ibiza - where he has spend past seasons working as a DJ - or in mainland Spain.
APPEAL FOR INFORMATION
But since his disappearance when he was carrying a wallet with €200 in cash, credit cards and a mobile phone, there has been no contact.
His heartbroken family are urging anyone who sees Rem or has any information about him: “Please contact your local police immediately.”
His mum and step dad have funded privately and through some donations their seventh sea helicopter search in a month in their frantic bid to find him.
Rem, who used to work in his family’s successful recruitment agency business in Billericay, moved to Luxembourg in autumn last year to be with his partner Natacha (crct) De Silva, 37.
After celebrating his sister’s birthday in the UK he and his mum travelled to Malaga to pick up a new car to take to their holiday home in Santa Ponca, Majorca.
Rem was last seen at 5am on March 22 after boarding Balearia ferry Hypatia de Alejandria.
Megan explained, in her first exclusive interview with The Sun Online, that her brother, who suffers mental health issues and has a borderline personality disorder sometimes gets confused and stressed.
But she said: “We are 100 per cent sure he was not suicidal at the time he disappeared, he would not have jumped from the ship, bless him, he wouldn't have been courageous enough too.
He may have been in a paranoid state and in his non rational mind felt the need to hide. He sometimes becomes fearful and distrusting of people.”
Megan, a manager at the family business, said: “Mum was with him on the ferry, his suitcase with his passport was in the cabin and he went off to reception to get a new remote control for the TV.
He told mum ‘I’ll be back soon.’ He never returned."
PUBLIC SUPPORT
Spanish authorities carried out a two day sea and air search for the missing passenger but to no avail. Today, he is sadly still missing despite several possible recent sightings.
His family started their own hunt from their pocket and with public donations on a Just Giving page which has so far raised £8,100 of the £10,000 target.
Megan said: “We’ve tried sea searches and now we’re concentrating on land.It’s painstaking but we’re doing everything possible.
"We’re trying to stay strong. Everyone is behind us - the support back home is keeping us going.
“Rem was at a phase of life where everything was going for him. He had travelled to the Isle of Wight shortly before he went missing to look into undertaking a Yacht Master Commercial Skipper course.
"He was working towards him and Natcha working on flotilla yachts in the Mediterranean, Rem as the Skipper and Natacha as the house-keeper looking after guests.
"With Rem’s skipper course and Natacha’s background in nursing and fluency in five languages they were set to be successful in this dream."
She told how her brother, who also had a spell living in Australia, had "travelled, DJ-ed, hosted parties and run comedy nights for the enjoyment of others.
"He has a pure heart and soul and I really hope we can all drop whatever mundane thing we are moaning about or not appreciating and just take a pinch of that warmth and club together to support him back and bring him home.”
The UK Foreign Office said: "We are assisting the family of a British man who has been reported missing at sea in Mallorca,and are in contact with the Spanish police.”
Spanish authorities are still helping if an alert should be issued.
